I saw Halford rubbing his neck and thought oh no. I agree glenn I can't Beleive I am saying it either. Here is a player who has been managed badly before but NW and KB have realised he has talent in spades. His composed clearances and passes mean the team settles down and the game plan remains intact. He's a changed player.
If anything Worcester, it just goes to show how little we really know looking in from the sidelines. From the average supporter's perspective, there was nothing to suggest that Halford was anything more than average and overrated. Very few of us had any idea of his significant talent that was being stymied by poor management.
Anyway, that's the mitigation in support of my defence your honour.
